KSIvLogan Draw in YouTube Boxing Matchup

In what served to be a rather entertaining title fight, and a far more engaging event than the Twitch touted robo-mecha slam down of last year, KSI retains the belt in a majority draw against Logan Paul in the KSIvLogan YouTube pay-per-view amateur boxing matchup. Coming out of the gate strong in the early rounds, Paul largely used his superior reach to hammer out hits whilst simultaneously keeping KSI at bay. Muddling through the middle rounds of the fight, both combatants attempted to shore themselves up, with significant hits coming far and few between. As the match worn on however, KSI

Sweden Names New Monarch: TSM Leffen Takes EVO 2018

Posted by Jack Donnelly / 485

On August 5, TSM Leffen fulfilled a 2 year old self-prophecy by obliterating Alliance Armada 3-0 in the grand finals of Super Smash Bros Melee at EVO 2018. The set was notable for its high speed, technical gameplay from both opponents, but Leffen’s current domination of Armada’s Fox in games 1 and 2, as well as his historic domination of Armada’s Peach in game 3 led to him sweeping the finals without losing a set. Leffen’s run all throughout the tournament was dominant, with him adapting to and destroying Liquid Hungrybox over the course of a 2-1 set, and making

4chan Vtuber Design Contest Underway

Posted by Chase McCain / 722

The virtual YouTuber phenomenon is a burgeoning and potentially lucrative niche market. With Kizuna Ai getting picked up for an honest to goodness TV show, it seems others are beginning to take notice of the niche personality delivery style as well. In a space normally reserved for a reminder to check your spam folder for Janitor acceptance emails, it looks as if 4chan is trying to break into the game by soliciting its users for a virtual YouTuber design. The Vtuber contest, currently underway, runs from August to October with voting commencing on October 1. The voting process will last

RuneScape Classic’s End and the Legendary Quest

Posted by Alexander Knapp / 492

On May 23, Jagex announced the farewell of RuneScape Classic after 17 years of operation, citing game-breaking bugs, maintenance issues, and the rise of botting. The server was set to finally close its doors early morning August 6, but this didn’t stop Twitch streamer Titus_Furius from setting out to complete the infamous Legends’ Quest before the game’s end. Added on August 20 back in 2003, the quest is notorious for being one of the longest quests in the game, granting the player access to the Legends’ Guild, “the most exclusive of all quest-based guilds in RuneScape.” Completing the line grants

ISIS Dating Sim Launches Crowdfunding Campaign

Posted by Chase McCain / 719

It’s listed on Kickstarter as The Super Patriotic Dating Simulator but make no mistake, you are correct in your reading of the actual title: Fuck ISIS. In Fuck ISIS, you navigate the narrative of Elodie: a super horny, blonde-haired and blue-eyed, American teenager that also happens to be both a virgin and a CIA spy. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to infiltrate ISIS, eliminate some key personnel, and explore yourself sexually. Showrunner Karlee Esmailli (whose previous work in crowdfunded projects includes both Exploding Kittens and Secret Hitler) describes the game as a satirical comedy dating sim,

Dungeons and Dragons and Magic, Oh Yes!

Posted by Brandon Takeda / 388

You’ve likely been confronted with the most ambitious crossover event in history before, but truly, on this day, we have found a crossover for the ages. Legend meets legacy, in what can only be described as a power move by Wizards of the Coast. On July 23, the company put out a press release regarding an upcoming campaign sourcebook that had been leaked the previous night on Amazon: D&D: Guildmasters’ Guide to Ravinca. Yes, that’s right, Dungeons and Dragons has merged with Magic the Gathering. With both properties owned by the monolithic games company, it had always been a cheerfully

Posted by Brandon Takeda / 444

If you are fan of the much beloved TCG, Magic the Gathering, there are three words that you know will kick off your weekend after a long week at the business factory, Friday Night Magic. And what better way to kick off said weekend than cracking open a cold one and slinging some spells. That’s right, as of July 23 alcohol can be served at DCI-sanctioned events. In a July 17 press release Wizards of the Coast, the company behind Magic the Gathering, announced that event organizers will be able to serve alcohol at said sanctioned events, as well as

Doki Doki Literature Club: On Parody and Satire

Posted by James Bailey / 506

Doki doki—it’s the sound your heart makes! You might have known about the DDLC clothing collaboration from earlier this year, but we actually have something of our own for a change. After diving into digital chaos and watching our computer screens collapse into a void of nothingness, we here at Too Far Gone are pleased to say that we survived. Not only did we survive, we actually brought something back. At long last production has ended for our first ever video in a new ongoing series about the stories that make up the culture we love.

NSFW Images Crop Up In Super Mario Odyssey

Posted by Chase McCain / 369

Over the last few days things have gotten quite exciting for the Nintendo Switch modding community, which recently got its hands on tools that allow for greater levels of device access and control. For example, unlike other online services which allow users to upload custom avatars (PlayStation for example), the Switch has a very limited, very short list of Nintendo themed visuals for players to select as their profile avatar. The pictures are mostly used for profile identification purposes, but in the case of Super Mario Odyssey, the images are used and displayed online. Odyssey features a post-game activity called
